... did you have any with the 2nd?
I was super lucky the first time and only got a couple on my boobs (which are hardly noticable), but this time I feel like my skin is stretching differently and it's all pulling hard from my belly button, so I'm sure I'm going to get some soon.

I got some with the first but they were small and not noticeable. I got 10x as many with the second. I wasn't expecting it, but I did. My lower abdomen and my hips.

I had some with my first but I couldn't see them until after I delivered. I had the false belief that I got through pregnancy with no stretch marks. They were around my belly button. I'm sure it will just get worse with the 2nd.

I didn't get any during my first pregnancy. This time I have some around my belly button and a few coming on my left side. A few more weeks to go so we will see what else pops up!

I didn't get any with the first but I did find that my 2nd was a bigger baby and I thought I saw them coming toward the end of the pregnancy. But they never actually materialized so you might not get them the 2nd time around either! keep moisturizing, momma!

I didn't get any with my first and now 32.5 weeks into pregnancy with baby #2, still no sign of a stretch mark anywhere! Fingers crossed it stays that way! My mom never got any stretch marks, even with having three babies, and no one in my family has ever had any, so maybe we got the good genes in that regard? I don't moisturise or use any special lotions so we'll see what happens over the next few weeks!

None with first or second, but I was religious with the cocoa butter. This time I haven't used it at all because I am getting over-confident in my skin's ability to stretch, but that might come back to bite me.

I didn't get any with DD1, except for a few on my boobs when my milk came in that are completely faded. So far 32 weeks with DD2 and stretch mark free!

I didn't get any with the first, with the second I got about 5 clustered together just below my bellybutton.

i didn't get any with both pregnancies, but i think it's genetic. my mom didn't get them either.

None with either. I was religious with the coconut oil, but I really think it is genetic.
